Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Chipper Jones [Luminescent] #T12A sells for $76.00 against $12.08 raw: a $63.92 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.67) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
